I know all about money being tight and things not going so well, trust me on that one lol.
I do have the 600 Nitro that I REALLY need to get in the air, and I have the Ikon on it which I have not even set up yet. This is the reason I'm thinking about the BT module from Power Hobbies (I think) on ebay. It's $30 as stated, and comes with teh correct cable. I have my Note II, so I can get the app (more money, imagine that lol) and that should help with fine tuning.
And that helicopter that you are wanting, the 180cfx, is a nice looking helicopter, but a little pricey. I guess it's no more than the Align 150, which I have and love. Just need to tune it in with the new DX9.
Speaking of the DX9, that would not have been possible if it were not for NexRc continuing their sponsorship of Rc-Help. Because of them, I was able to get that Tx. And let me tell you, it's a great Tx. We will be shooting more videos this weekend on that Tx as well as other things. Hopefully, the wind will be down a little and we can get out and fly between takes. I REALLY want to fly lol. Just need more batteries for my 130x Red Bull heli lol.
